Okay, thank you, I'll do a CVS update on the xenocara tree and rebuild the driver.
I'll try and report back.

Other than that, I seem to be stuck in snapshots. 
On my laptop I'm on May 15th snapshot, but /usr/X11R6 is copied from May 13th. This works fine.
But several machines I have, including a VM at OpenBSD.Amsterdam, don't seem to be able to sysupgrade -s presently.
It ends with:
  cp: /mnt/var/log/ai.log/18444: No such file or directory
  chmod: /mnt/var/log/ai.log/18444: No such file or directory
  /upgrade: cannot create /mnt/etc/rc.firsttime: No such file or directory
I'm not sure if /etc/rc.firsttime is supposed to be in base79.tgz in snapshots, but in May 17th's it isn't.

Kind regards,
Dannis.
